I used to also believe this but it is incorrect. Look how many 2nd radio
QSOs N6MJ made in CQWW CW.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no8nGGa99cE

SO2R has a very small effect on the number of QSO's made in a contest. The
number of 2nd radio QSO's I make in major contests is always less than 10%
of the total number of QSO's. The primary advantage of SO2R is finding
multipliers, not QSO's.

As a reminder, CQWW has a "Classic" overlay category that is SO1R-only.
It's also 24 hours - you pick the 24 hours. Lots of fun.
